Capítulo 15: Selling Dowry 2
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Shopkeeper, do you buy embroidery? We're here to sell something." Madam Zhou glanced at Ye Qingyu, who had yet to recover, and asked on her behalf.
"We do accept embroidery." The shopkeeper nodded. "Bring the things over. I want to take a look first."
Ye Qingyu recovered a little. She stood up from the chair and handed the bag to the shopkeeper. "It's a wedding dress and a blanket."
The shopkeeper opened the two layers of cloth and a beautiful new red wedding dress appeared in front of him.
"It's so beautiful!" Madam Zhou took a look and couldn't help but sigh. In the past, Ye Qingyu's family had such a good life to be able to afford such good clothes and embroidery thread.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but nod, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He carefully unfolded the wedding dress and checked it carefully. Seeing that there was no damage, he was even more satisfied.
However, he did not show it on his face. In a professional tone, he said, "Miss, we'll take your wedding dress. How much do you want to sell it for?"
"Shopkeeper, state your price first," Ye Qingyu said. "If you're sincere, we can continue our discussion."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but take a second look at Ye Qingyu. Although she was wearing a veil and he couldn't see her face clearly, her clear, lively, and beautiful eyes made him ignore the rough linen clothes she was wearing and feel that she didn't look like an ordinary farm girl.
Hearing her confident words, the shopkeeper could not help but think highly of the girl in front of him.
"I'll pay five taels of silver." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and stretched out a hand, spreading his fingers.
When Ye Qingyu heard this, her eyes curved slightly. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be decorated with stars and sparkled. Her voice was pleasant and she spoke eloquently.
"Shopkeeper, you're an honest person. Thank you for the price. However, Shopkeeper, look at my wedding dress. Although the material isn't top-notch Shu brocade, it's still worth four taels of silver.
The wedding dress is complex. It used a total of 15 feet of material, and this cloth alone cost six taels.
Shopkeeper, look at this embroidery thread. It's a good embroidery thread in itself. There's also a golden embroidery thread with edges. Also, this embroidery work is exquisite and beautiful. It is not inferior to the works of the embroidery girls in the South at all. Not counting the money spent on the embroidery threads, this handiwork alone is worth five taels of silver.
Of course, this wedding dress has been put on hold for two years. Although it's not damaged, its value has decreased a little. You are already sincere in giving me five taels, but my family is really in trouble. Why don't you add another tael? How about we close the deal at six taels?"
After saying this, Ye Qingyu looked at the shopkeeper pleadingly, waiting for his response.
Madam Zhou, who was beside her, widened her eyes slightly and looked at Ye Qingyu in surprise. Even two years ago, she did not have such a quick tongue.
She had gone to the gates of hell and returned to unlock her apertures!
After hearing Ye Qingyu's words, the shopkeeper stroked his beard and thought for a long time. Then, he said,
"Six taels is fine. However, I have a condition. Miss, you have to introduce me to the embroiderer who embroidered this wedding dress. Let her take on some work in my embroidery workshop and complete some embroidery."
"To tell you the truth, I embroidered this wedding dress myself," Ye Qingyu said with a blush.
Just now, she had unceremoniously praised her own embroidery skills.
However, not only did she sell the wedding dress, but she also found a job to earn money. Ye Qingyu felt very lucky.
How happy!
